I have a question regarding the appropriate use of pois. This year I am taking my two wonderful sons who are in their early 20s. One wants to bring his pois. I want to make sure that I am able to help advise him of restrictions, best practice, best locations, and of any poi events. Any advice you could offer would be very helpful.

A very considerate question. It's way easier not to start a tent fire--or explode someone's gas can--if poi spinners avoid tents and vehicles and residential space, and go out to the Esplanade where they can get a better audience, or (if they are shy or new and want to practice somewhere first) they can go somewhere in the huge amount of space between the very outside streets and the trash fence.

Poi events may be listed in the What/When/Fire guide you receive when you enter the event.

So there is no special permit to be allowed to burn poi where ever when ever?I thought it fell under one of the "fire art" need a license type things?

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

I haven't heard of anything like that. I don't spin pois, so until now, I've never really looked into it. It's a great question for sure. Maybe somebody here could offer me some insight on that here. Thank you for posing that question.

OK, good to know, thanks for the info!I guess I just assumed that since 70% of BRC population are Douche Jockeys and Fire Spinners that to limit the number of burgins spinning fire they would require some sort of license.
